wayko has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

i have a code it is written like this
#!/usr/bin/perl $first = $field{'first'}; $last = $field{'last'}; $address = $field{'address'}; $email = $field{'email'}; $phone = $field{'phone'}; $user = $field{'user'}; $pass = $field{'pass'}; use DBI; $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:ODBC:'driver = Driver do Microsoft Access(*.m +db); dbq=test.mdb'"); print"<html><body><h1>this is a test</h1>"; $sql = qq{INSERT INTO Dreamcpu(FirstName, LastName, Address, Email, Ph +one, Username, Password) VALUES ('$first', '$last', '$adress', '$emai +l','$phone', '$user', '$pass');}; $rc = $dbh->do($sql); print"$rc record(s) were added.<p>"; $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT ID,FirstName,LastName,Address,Email,Phone +,Username,Password FROM Dreamcpu"); $sth->executive(); print"<table>\n"; print"<tr> <th>ID</th> <th>First</th> <th>Last</th> <th>Address</th> < +th>Email</th> <th>Phone</th> <th>User</th> <th>Password</th>\n"; while (@row = $sth->fetchrow_array) { print"<tr>"; foreach(@row) { print"<td>$_</td>"; } print"</tr>\n"; } print"</table>\n"; print"</body></html>"; $sth->finish; $dbh->disconnect;
when i goto the webpage i get the following error
CGI Error The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete s +et of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are: Can't locate object method "connect" via package "DBI" (perhaps you fo +rgot to load "DBI"?) at C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin\database1.pl line +12.

any ideas
